Tool To Maintain Uniform Sound Volume In Windows 7?
Oct 23, 2012
does something like that exist? i've googled and googled, but i can't find anything. the problem is of course this; windows 7 sounds are in volume 10, then Internet is suddenly louder, say volume = 15, then foobar = 16 in track one, and 11 in track 2, and so on and so forth. a tool that normalizes sound everywhere (no matter which source, say volume = 12) is what i would be looking for, because i am constantly changing the sound volume, and this is not exactly automation - which is what we have computers for
I'm trying to create a new simple volume in 130 GB free disk space. There's no obvious reason why it would refuse to do so - I'm not at the hard limit on number of partitions or anything - but disk management MSC is consistently returning "Not enough space" errors. The only thing I can think of is something to do with the partition order, but if so I have no idea how to fix it non-destructively. I'm in the middle of backups on it, so deleting partitions is a no-go. At the moment I don't understand what's going on.
DISKPART output (Win 7 x64): Code: DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 232 GB 134 GB
My D drive is full and I tried to erase some files and went to administrator tool to decrease volume and then the whole drive disappear. How to recover the drive.
I have noticed that in the "all programs" portion of start menu that the appearance of the program folders is not uniform. Some of mine are highlighted wtih an orange horizontal band. Does any know why that is. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.
Sound of my Laptop is very low. But sound was good when I using Windows XP. Now I am using Windows 7. My Laptop Model: Dell Vostro 1014. What can I do now to increase volume?
The Volume Mixer in Windows 7 is supposed to show applications that are running sound, right? Well, mine shows some applications,like Firefox and Guild Wars 2 and Mozilla Thunderbird and KMPlayer. But it doesn't show volume for other applications that use sound like Winamp and ePSXe (playstation emulator). I'm playing Final Fantasy VIII on ePSXe and the game doesn't have a volume control itself for, say, music and/or sound effects. And I'd like to be able to turn down the sound on the emulator game so that the game volume doesn't intermingle with my music in the background played by Winamp.Is there a way I can add these applications to the Volume Mixer? Or, alternatively, is there a freeware/opensource program that will allow me to adjust the volume of individual programs?I am new here so hopefully I have done everything right. I was going to try to list my system specs here in this thread but I followed the link at the top of this Post New Thread page and filled out my System Specs according to the walkthrough.
I recently bought a dell computer second-hand from my friend, who had XP installed on it. It came with a subwoofer and a set of 4 regular speakers. On it, he had installed a form of creative volume control in addition to windows volume. The way it worked was he had the windows volume set to 100% at all times, and the creative volume control around 3% for regular browsing, 10-25% for gaming and 50% or higher for rocking out with music. I recently acquired windows 7 home premium x64 and upgraded my operating system. My soundblaster card has all the necessary drivers and the audio is all hooked up properly, and the only thing missing is this form of volume control. After looking around for the old software and trying a few different freeware and shareware programs, nothing has pulled through for me;
I have read several posts about issues with this already.I had an ECS P4M800 Pro-M V 2.0 with a Pentium 4 2.88. I had a primary and secondary hard drive as well as a DVD RW on it. My brother-in-law originally build the computer some years ago. I got the dreaded call the other day, "Honey, the computer won't turn on."DOA, fried MOBO. I ordered a Biostar A880 G + MOBO with integrated graphics, audio and LAN cards. Popped in an AMD Athlon 2 X 3 3.3G and two DDR 3 2G Ram sticks.Fired that puppy up on my old hard drive. It ran through some system checks, and nada. I keep getting back to nothing.I had a system backup set up to run, but the destination drive ended up being full, (without my realizing it) and now I'm up shit creek becuase the drive won't boot. I've got some important business stuff on that drive, which I know I can recover, but I would just like it to get up and run.
ive had my netbook for a few years now and has never experienced any problems with the sound until 2 days ago. is there a setting change i have to make to have my speakers play sound again? nothing is on mute, and everything is on fullblast, it just isnt working?
as I have a ntb without buttons for controlling sound volume, I have installed a program called Sound volume hotkeys - it allows to control volume with hotkeys: WIN + UP (resp. DOWN). The problem is that Win 7 has "occupied" the hotkeys, is there a way how to change it? I do not need the function by Win 7 (maximize × restore/minimize) at all.
I've got a bit of a problem here....randomly, the sound volume for my programs will drop (e.g. my music player, any games i am running, etc).
No actual change in the windows volume control, or any volume control is done....the sound output just drops. Only way to fix it seems to be to restart the affected programs (e.g. my music player).
There doesn't appear to be any pattern to it, it just happens randomly.
I am still battling to get my External Drive recognised by Windows.After doing a full format, the correct 500gb is at last shown in Disk management.However my problem is that when I restart my computer I get a message saying, to use this drive you will have to format it !If I now disconnect the drive and reconnect it, it is recognised again .Can anyone explain how I get Windows to maintain it`s recognition of this drive permanently.
It just happened out of nowhere. My sound was working fine last night, then this morning I played a video and there was no sound. I clicked the volume icon in the task bar to see if I could hear the 'ping' when you adjust volume but it repeatedly froze and crashed (it's still doing this now after rebooting). Sound in control panel also crashes first thing when I try to open it. I want my sound back.
My wireless and my sound volume are spazzing out. The sound constantly varies and my wireless is intermittent. Sometimes it all works fine, but most of the time I am having these issues. I have only had my laptop for 4 days!!! I have an HP dv6-2144nr. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone yesterday with HP support and this morning it all started again when I booted.
I was playing wolfenstein and every now and then the volume would increase in one go which made me . Now it's doing it with music too , every now and then the volume would shoot up didn't happen in vista.

Seems i'm not the only one
EDIT ( Eax & Svm are off ) , put the crystalizer on 50% from 100% lets see what happens now
I have windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and i have installed SRS HD Audio Lab on my Realtek but there is a sound problemThe volume comes low...i mean very low.Its only about 30%.A
I'm having trouble with controlling the volume in windows 7. If I'm playing music through either Windows media player or itunes and drag the taskbar volume slider down to 0% I can still hear sound. I've only noticed this problem last night so I thought a system restore to yesterday afternoon would fix it but I've still got the problem. There is a possibility that this problem there since the installation of windows and that I only noticed it last night though.
Some random details: I've noticed that if I open the mixer, all of the levels claim to be on the same volume. Itunes, applications and system volume sliders are all at zero but sound is still playing. If I just click on the itunes slider, the sound disappears completely and 0% volume actually means just that. The problem then is that the slider is then independent to the master volume slider and I have to adjust the volume for itunes every time.
System specs: Dell Optiplex GX620 (Tower) P4 3.2GHz Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SoundMAX integrated audio
My system doesn't even have official Vista drivers from Dell so if the problem was there since before last night then it's probably due to the drivers. If that is the case, is there anything that I could do (other than a system upgrade)?
Just had my PC converted from Vista 64bit to Windows 7 and suddenly have no sound. Checked 'Device Manager' and updated driver and this indicates all is well, but still no sound. I have also checked to make sure volume levels are good and that there is nothing muted:
it's possible to maintain a dual monitor, extended desktop configuration when moving a relatively large network from XP Professional to 7 Enterprise. As it stands now, after the Win 7 image finishes installing the secondary monitor does not automatically attach leaving the user to have to do so when they log on for the first time. We have seen cases where the second monitor does attach, but the primary monitor has switched.how to set the secondary monitor to attach at first logon essentially maintaining the former XP extended desktop configuration?
I bought a USB A4 Tech HU-200 HeadPhone Its volume is quite high even when the windows volume is at 0, When its at max 100 it works like dedicated speakers Is there any way to reduce the volume beyond the lowest volume of windows 7?
Note: My Headphone does not have any soft of driver or software

System: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)What I'm looking for:I'm asking if anyone knows the precise location to the setting for the Desktop View icon size setting, either a settings file or registry location (NOTHING ELSE). This is viewable by: Right-clicking the desktop -> Selecting View -> Large Icons, Medium Icons, or Classic Icons Problem,Every time I set the option to Classic Icons, it resets to Medium Icons after rebooting.I'm NOT looking for any of the many ways to change this setting through means of:
This is NOT a problem with setting the icon size or themes.Minimum icon size is 16, which on Medium is larger then Classic at 32 (default). It's NOT a problem with any 3rd party programs or services.I've tested with a selective startup disabling all non-Microsoft services and startup programs. Neither is it a malware or virus issue.I've explored this to no end. I've tried "sfc /scannow" to locate any altered/corrupt/missing system files as well, all are accounted for and working properly.I need to locate the exact location for this particular setting (View: Large/Medium/Classic) and find out why it will not save appropriately. I've been to so many forums with so many different fixes and none of them work. I believe I've covered all methods I've attempted but I might have missed one. I rarely have need to ask on forums, but I've exhausted my search abilities to no avail.
I am currently having a problem playing 4:3 game with no wide screen support on my 1440x900 (16:10) monitor. What I mean is that when I play it full screened, the game is stretched.
This was funny because It used to add the black bars for me on the sides to keep the 4:3 (800x600) ratio. But then disappeared after I decided to update my graphics card's drivers (Nvidia 9600 GT). I searched everywhere constantly over the net and this forums using the search for a solution but it only seems like people want to remove the black bars, I WANT them.
There are some solutions saying that I should check the "Maintain aspect ratio" selection in the Nvidia control panel, but because I don't have the "Flat Panel Display Monitor" option in my control panel (seen below), I cannot access it.

I have a 720p resolution video file in HD specs. I converted it from mkv --> avi with a special program to keep its subtitles and HD specs. However, I want to burn it onto a DVD WITH a DVD menu. The only problem is that everytime I want to do so, the programs that I tried forces me to dumb down the quality to 480p. Is there a simple solution that is not too complicated for me to keep the HD resolution? By DVD , I mean like burn as DVD so I can watch it on a DVD player that is for TVs.
I have a hp mini 210 netbook. Im trying to run games like broken sword on it. In my previous windows 7 instalation, i just selected 'maintain aspect ratio' from the display properties, and it gave me a full screen game.
I had a terrible virus, so had to format and install another windows 7.
I noticed the graphics driver is a bit different, and now when i select 'maintain aspect ratio', it makes no diffference whatsoever. how to actually get full screen again?
